Many Strong Teams. The tournament this year looms up as an exciting affair. Many quintets hare been showing championship caliber the last few weeks and it will take a lot of battling to beat them. Lincoln, Hastings, Wahoo, Sutton and Central look particularly strcog in the class A division. Omaha Com merce, last year champions, have been coming up from a poor early season showing and should make a fair bid to retain the title. In the second division, Ravenna, York, Nebraska City and Schuyler are bringing teams which have been going at a fast clip throughout the season. Ravenna has taken the scalp of Al liance and given Grand Island a close run while losing to Hastings. The other teams have taken victories and defeats which make them rate as strong contenders. Ravenna carried off the class C honors in the 19-1 tournament. Central City, Superior and Craig are bright spots on the closs C sched ule. Wayne, Pawnee City and Ran dolph look good in class D. Benson and Lexington have good records in the E class. Harvard, Cambridge and Lyons of class F teams have shown up well. In class H, Greenwood Neligh and Milford look good. In all the other classes are listed, teams which have been meeting defeats and taking victories throughout the sea son and littf speculation can be made on their prospects. , Dark Horses Probable. In every class there are listed a good many teams which have shown championship caliber at timed while at other times they have been raving hard luck. These teams may came forth as the dark horses of the tour nament and carry off the champion ship laurels. Especially in the class A and B teams are there probable dark horses. Clay Center and Crete are given fav orable rating and in all probability will take on winning form when they trip out on tie battle ground First Round Games. Following is a complete list of the first round contests to be played Thursday starting at 8 a. m., and run. ning to after 10 at night The sched ule is given by classes with the place and time of each contest: Cuss A.

MISS BERTHA EHLERS TALKS TO HOME EC'S Miss Bertha Ehlers, a dietician in the Methodist hospital in Omaha, ad dressed the classes in foods and nu trition in the home economics aepait ment on Tuesday. Miss Ehlers took all of her home economics work at Nebraska.

The variety show is to be a pro gram of musical, comedy, dramatic and feature acts much in the nature of an Orpheum circuit program.

Lincoln people rarely have a chance to see the best of university talent in action and it is for this reason that the variety pro gram is to be inaugurated. SOPHOMORES 11 116 COLLEGE TOURNAMENT Second Year Team Carries Off Honors in Basketball Tour ney in Coliseum. The flashy sophomore quintet of the Ag. college completely outclassed their rivals in the class tourney held last week, winning from the other teams by their stellar teamwork and accurate goal-shoot,ing. Under the leadership of Manager Walker I la-be little speed demons turned out their regular team each evening and whip ped the freshies 26 to 14, the beuiors 36 to 18, and the juniors 19 to 12. This places the sophs in champion ship place with the other classes tied for second, each team winning one and losing two games. Beginning last Wednesday at 4 p. m. two games were played each eve ning in the horse barn gym. The sophs beat the frosh 26 to 14. and the juniors beat the seniors 24 to 6 in the Wednesday round. In the Thursday games 'the freshman hu miliated the juniors by a 22 to 12 score and the sophs won from the seniors 36 to 18. On Friday the sen iors upset the dope by trouncing the frosh five 18 to 4. While the sophs cinched the championship by beatiug the juniors, 19 to 12. Will Play Off Tie. The tie between the three teams will have to be played off this week because, arguments Jiave already arisen as to Just which class supports the poorest team. The real value of the tournament is the boost to Ag. college athletics and enthusnasm manifested by the large peppy crowds of rooters at all the games. The manager Barnes, freshman. Walker, soph, Weir, Junior and Nielson the senior mainstay, de serve much credit for their work In getting the men out The person- el of each team was not entirely tne same in any two games and many (Continued on Page 2.) New Lines Are Bound To Improve The Same Old Stuff In Introductions For some reason or other, lit seems more difficult to make new iriends, around the campus, this semester than any time previous. No one knows just what the reason is, uul the condition prevails, never-tto-ie&s, if you will apply the psychological art of introspection you will agree that the truth of this statement is well based. Now it seems that the logical rea son is that the "line" used, following an introduction, is faulty. It Is hard to determine whether it is the "line" belonging to the college mau or to the co-ed, but there is a probability of it being the fault of both. The "Rag" is a paper which serves the school. Its aim is to encourage democracy and friendship amongst the entire student body. Since it has been noticed that persons do not become friends after an introduction and that the formal "am glad to have met you" ends the abrupt acquaint ance, the "Rag" takes the situation in hand and hereby gives a recipe for both sexes to follow. It is Hoped that all will take advantage of the valuable information listed below. "Lines" for the man: When being introduced to the charming young "flapper, an effective motion is to remove the hat, or cap, and brush back the hair from the forehead. Then say, "All the fellows have told me about yau, I have heard your talents heralded far and wide. This is indeed a deep pleasure.' This is always sure to take very well and proves very effective. To suggest a little walk over the campus 13 bound to give satisfaction. This proves that you delight being in her company, without using words to express same. Actions, you know, always speak louder than words. As you are walk ing, it is very impressive to remark about the young woman's appsar ance reminding you of Katherine Mc Donald, especially if the young wo man is a brunette. If she happens to be large it always registers well to tell her there is something about her that reminds, you of Viola Dana; if she is very short and stout, an Olga Fetrova- resemblance is guar anteed to give satisfaction, or money refunded and no question asked. If you have a little spare change in your pocket, a convincing action is to suggest a malted-milk bar. When the little lady Is biting into the "Hunk" of sweets, that put you back GLEE CLUB TRYOUTS TO BE Men Asked to Tryout for Places in Newly Organized Singing Club Every male student in the Univers ity of Nebraska who can sing is asked t otryout for a plae in the men's glee club which is being started. Try outs will bo held Wednesday evening at 8 o'rlock in the faculty roos of the Temple Building. In the earnest effort to get tho best singers possible for the club, letters have been sent t0 everl fraternity asking that all men be urged to try for places in the club. As a side Issue which is expected to bring re sults letters have been sent to tho sor orities also asking that the girls urge their friends to try out for tho glee club. The University of Nebraska has long been slack In its singing. Feel ing that more singing produces more spirit, a group of men together with Harold F. Holtz secretary of the alum ni association, have worked up plans for a glee club. Parvin Witte, widely known leader or glee clubs, is to head the newly organized musical group. Witte has a record as a leader of glee clubs that Is hard to beat and Nebraska men should back him in his effort to" give Nebraska a glee club equal to the re putation of tne school In other respects. a dime, breathe tensely and say, "Heavens, what beautiful pea"ly, teeth" (this portion to be used wheth er it fits or not.) If the boli rings and you have to dash off to class you might say, "I hate to go to an old dry class alter these few moments of bliss, it is such a contrast." Look her straight in the eye, whether pos sible or not, all the while you spsak. A sigh, now and then, can "bo used again and again and will always como off with the same results. When it is time to part, a soft and soulful, "Little girl, this meeting has made me the happiest man in the world" is the most taking and completely et fective ending that can be suggested. A slight rolling of the "R's" helps to assure its success. (Guaranteed to produce a lasting- acquaintance) "Lines" for the girl: These are not so complicated as those of the man. Following introduc tion the co-ed should say "Gee, but I am glad to know you. You're the man that all the girls rave about. Oh, I've heard what a big man you are around this; school." These words are bound to affect the gentleman's vanity, "nuff sed." Giggling is the most forecful measure ror the flapper to take. Giggle at everything, wheth er it is funny or not This proves, to the man, that you are enjoying his company, without going to any extra effort. When the walk is sug gested say, "Oh, how did you guess that a walk was just what I was dy ing to take? A speech nke this puts the fellow in fine spirits and is al ways satisfactory. Tell him that the candy was the best you ever had eaten and when he speaks of your teeth say that you were just notic ing how wonderful his were, and it is advisable to add here, that you never say such lovely long lashes ou a man before. Ask hinv if he saw Ru dolf Valantino in "The Conquering Power," and if he didn't tell him that his actions remind you so much of Rudolf's when he was becoming in fatuated with Alice. If giggling is used the rest of the time, that Is all that will be necessary. Only at the end say, "It would kill me to think that I would never see you again This is bound to bring a "but you will," from the lips of the excited youth. If these bits of advice are followed closely they will, no doubt, bring the desired results. WALTER J.

GIVE 60 PROGRAM Show Many Colored Slides Show ing Life in the islands is noi One of Ignorance and Ease One hundred colored slides on every phase of Philippino life, manners wirks, .and scenery convinced the guests 0f the Phi'.ippino Club last Thursday evening that the distant islands are not given up to a race of ignorant and lazy hunun beings. The photographs showed roads, bridges, schools from kindergarten up, churches, commercial centers, monu ments, prisons and many other sub jects the like of which are hardly seen in America or any Pce else. Mr. Guerrero, president of the club, explained the views which had been sent from Washington especially for this occasion, and was able t odo the job well even upon the short notice which he had because of tho fact that he had visited or lived at many of the places shown. Some time was spent on demonstrat ing the difference between Spanish and American methods in the islands One of the greatest American achieve ments, according to the lecturer, was the system of prison management which it had established. The trusi ystem is used to a very high degree and has been found effective. A ma chine gun is used on the common pris oners, however, and that is also very effective. Green foliage showed In almost every picture and this, it was fre quently pointed out, stays green all year long as there is no cold weather there. Coc0anut groves were much id evidence as the isalnds are the third greatest producers of that fruit. Excellent Schools Schools, all the way from the uni versity, which is th oldest under American rule, to the newly erected primary schools, of which there is an enormous number, were often flashed on the screen.

Pouf! for vermillion wads. The knob that draws the notice wears its foliage in swads." Such was the final couplet of the verses accompanying the award of the prize for the greatest quantity of red hair at th? fourth annual luncheon of the Order of the Golden Fleece, which was !:'d yesterday at Ellen Smith ha'I. Between sixty and seventy aub urn heads gilded the edge of the luncheon table and took part In the NINE competition for the six prizes offered They were awarded by the judges as follows. The prize for the most vivid coiffude for the third time went to Betty Ken nedy of Omaha, with honorable men tion to Delia Perrin of iLncoln. Delia Perrin took the premium for the most fascinating scintillating gold en glow, with honorable mention to Vivien Hanson, of Lincoln, last year winner for this place. Marie McGerr again turned her spattered nose to the judges and wheeled the "bewitching freckled" prize out of their hands. The competition for the quantity prize was truly a "neck to neck" race, and not until the six with the great est and most solid masses, were shorn of all weight as pins, puffs and nets did the judges favor Isabelle Fouts of Diller, Nebr. Gwedolyn Damedell. last years winner unsheathed her glory but came out close second. Helen Dimond retained her title In the consolation list for having hair nearest lemon or ginger, with Marie McGerr coming second. Vivien Quinu came nearest "insipid brown," with Marjorie Brown second. The six judges for this dazzling affair were Mrs. Barton Groen, Mrs. Parvin Witte, Mrs. Howard Kennedy and Miss Mary Gant of Omaha, Mrs. Samuel Avery, Miss Laura Pfeiffer. The Judges Judges conspicious themselves for their own burnished crowns had a table to themselves during the lunch eon. From time to time they roamed around the table drawn here by an effulgent twist, or attracted there by freckles, proudly flaunting and dis daining cosmetics the one day in the year. Any moment a girl might feel the Quantity Judge jabbing her clur.ler searching for rats and ruining a per fect profile effect by weighing out thi knots. Those in tho race for vivid ness found many a squint ing and dis criminating eye on her hail, accom panied with a request to "step into tho light please." Mr. Avery was a Judgo which disqualified her flaming lo-ks from entering the contest. In the selection of those deserving hon orable mention they were helped by Mrs. Philip Slaymaker. In tho quant ity mutest the julges felt empowered to tako out tho hairpins of the con testants "This Is no more than a safe precaution, these days," they said. The donors of prizes were Jessie Beghtol Lee of Buffalo, New York, Janet Cameron, Mrs. F. F.
